Rosey or Mikey?
Rosey O'Donnell has been in the news lately for her ignorant outbursts and tirades against her country. Typical liberal tripe. Barbara Walters has been forced to apologize and attempt to minimize Rosey's comments for a couple of months now.
It appears that state representative Mike (hey, honey, could you steal some more signs for me?) Merrifield is attempting to emulate the bloated liberal icon. His Democrat colleagues are now left holding the bag for the mouthy little man from Manitou Springs. In a well publicized email exchange with Democrat colleague Susan Windels, Mike said this:
Ouch, Mikey, a place in Hell for parents who chose to do what is best for their kids? Pretty harsh talk from the music teacher. To top it off, Mike was offended that his email exchange went public. Never heard of anything like that happening before, have we Mike? A big part of the recall campaign in D11 was built on emails, wasn't it? But this is different. Mike says that this is unfair because a conservative group released his email. Does that somehow change the content of the email? Apparently not since Mike stood by what he said.
The email above clearly highlights the true feelings of labor union purchased legislators and board members towards parents who want the best for their children. When the labor union chooses candidates to support, the candidates must have this type of mentality ingrained in their minds. There is a difference between "child centered" education and "school centered" education. Liberals believe that the school building is what matters if it is a traditional public school, while conservatives believe that it is the child that matters. Charter schools are public schools, but Mikey doesn't like them because they are not unionized. The labor union loses money on charter schools because charter teachers cannot be forced into giving up their paychecks for the labor union political activity. The less labor union political money, the less time that people like Mikey spend as elected officials. To people like Mike, it is all about being an elected official, not at all about doing anything to serve the public. It is about being in the ruling class and feeling important, not about helping kids to receive a quality education.
When I stepped down from the D11 board, Mikey said that I had no moral purpose, and that is why I did not stick around. Where is your moral purpose, Mike? Why didn't you stick around as chairman of your little committee? One little incident and you can't take the heat? Keep telling those parents that they are scum for wanting to get an education for their kids. Keep taking their tax money to pay your wages and put those parents back in their place.
This email from Mike should not be a surprise. He has always been a hate-filled, self-serving politico who has always placed his agenda above even the "little guy." The letter below is a part of a letter sent to the D11 board in 2005 by a then D11 support employee. This letter was sent to the entire board, not just me.
I was responsible for the volunteer/donation programs with Joel Hefley's office. I managed all donations of clothing, food, and reading time. I also worked the breakfast and lunch program for extra money. I have heard that the volunteer/donation program with Joel Hefley's office has been stopped since I left.
The week before I was suspended, Mike Merrifield called the school to speak with Marlys. She was out of the office at the time. He called several more times that day, and finally the last time she had just returned. I transferred his call to her office.
I had known Mr. Merrifield as a student at Coronado High School. He was my choir teacher there. I had made some small talk with him during one of his calls, reminding him that I had been one of his students. He was kind and said he remembered and asked how I was doing, etc.
After Marlys came out of her office, she told us, (Lisa and me), that he was mad that we had not asked him to volunteer, and asked if there were political reasons why we had not asked him. I responded that he could volunteer, just like those people from Joel Hefley's office, and that we did not discriminate. Marlys then asked me if I had heard or knew about the rumors regarding Merrifield and female students while he was a teacher at Coronado HS. I responded that I had heard the rumors, but didn't know if they were true or not. I figured that they were just high school students making things up.
I took Friday of that week off as a personal day. I was told later that Michael Merrifield's wife had a closed-door meeting with Marlys that day, and then she called me to tell me that I had been suspended.
Mary Hyde, my representative for ESP, told me later that she confirmed that their meeting had been about me. I still do not know the content of this meeting or how his wife would have had any reason to meet with Marlys with regard to me at all. Mary Hyde told me that Marlys had been reprimanded for her involvement, this meeting and others with Michael Merrifield and his wife, but I do not know any information about this situation. I can only surmise that somehow I lost my job because of this, and the other things that they sited were made up or trumped up. I believe that I would not have been on paid suspension since October 4,2004, if this were not true.
Mike and his now ex-wife (the same one who was caught on video stealing campaign signs on Mike's behalf) went out of their way to get this young employee fired for inviting Republicans into her school to read. As she pointed out, Mike could have volunteered as well, but he chose not to. As always, it is about Mike's politics, not about doing the right thing. I wonder where reservations should be made for people like Mike who pull this kind of stunt on young employees?
Notice the question that Marlys (who was the principal at the school) asked the employee when she completed her phone call with Mike. She wondered if the employee knew about the "rumors regarding Merrifield and female students while he was a teacher at Coronado HS." The employee told me what those rumors were all about. Coronado teachers know what those rumors were about, as do ex-Coronado students. Seems as if Mike had a reputation in the district, but as people so often do in this district, people simply turned a blind eye. Luckily Mike was no longer a D11 employee when I served on the board. maybe Mike can tell us what those rumors were all about.
Thanks for exposing your true colors, Mike. I know that your labor union masters are a little upset with you right now, but as long as you keep voting against the public that you are supposed to serve, they will keep funneling union dollars your way. Liberals rarely police their own. You were caught stealing, and now you have shown your hatred towards your constituents, but that's OK. You were always more important than the underclass anyway.

Anyone that has ever heard or seen this guy in action knew the day would come he blew his lid. He seeps hatred towards anyone who does not see the world his way (a scary view it is).
That a creature like this could ever be elected says a great deal about the voters of that district.
Fortunately it sounds like he won't be around much longer anyway.
That comment is just reprehensible, but it sums up the attitude of the reformers: all's fair.
There's been no talk of Merrifield resigning; he has his seat for another 1 1/2 years.
There's been no serious talk of a recall, so that's not what that comment meant.
No, sadly, suggesting that Merrifield "won't be around much longer anyway" can only be an oblique and sick reference to Merrifield's medical condition. So you guys are responding to a guy who metaphorically refers to hell by hoping he dies of cancer.
Classy bunch.
The only one who said anything about his cancer is you, Anony #2. In fact, your side wants to pretend that his antics are off limits due to his medical condition. Sorry, that isn't going to fly. Merrifield has been a hate-filled, self-serving political hack long before he had health problems.
Your side can say whatever you want, and it is simply metaphor? Give me a break. Merrifield is a rabid old man who meant every word he said. Read your newspaper - he said that he stood by everything that he said. Kind of hard to claim that the guy did not mean what he said when he SAID that he meant it.
Great points Craig, as usual. The hatred that seeps from these destroyers of kids lives is astonishing. This time they were caught red handed and exposed their whole rotten belief system.
Rumors about Mr. Merrifield playing house with female students? Have you ever seen the R-rated version of Mr. Holland Opus?
